Answer/Explanation:

Gioachino Rossini's four-act opera Guillaume Tell was written to a French adaptation of Schiller's play. William Tell was known as a strong man, a mountain climber, and an expert shot with the crossbow. The story focuses on the legendary Swiss marksman William Tell as part of the greater Swiss struggle for independence from the Habsburg Empire in the early 14th century.
